BOOT-PATTERN'.

Specication of LettersiP'atent No. 5,244, dated August 141847.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, SIMON C. SHIVE, of Bloomsburg, in the county ofColumbia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Adjustable Boot-Patterns; and I do hereby declare thatthe following is a full, clear, and exact de.

scription of the construction and operation of the same. reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification,in which- Figure 1 is a top view of the blocking out pattern for the.front of t-he boot. Fig. 2 its respective parts. F ig.I 3 a pattern forthe back of the boot. Fig. 4 its respective parts. Fig. 5 the patternfor cutting the front after it has been crimped. Fig. 6 its respectiveparts.

The nature of my invention consists in combining several plates of metalor other material one with another in such a manner, so, that when thuscombined, they will form a boot pattern which can be adjusted at oneoperation to any required size, by .means of the simultaneous andproportional extension of the several parts.

To enable others skilled in the art tomake and use my invent-ion, I willproceed to describe their construction and operation.

The blocking out pattern for the front (Fig. 1) is composed of fivepieces (A, B, C, D, E) represented in (Fig. 2). The piece (E), which Idesignate the primary plate, is constructed with three rivets cl, f,)sufficient in length to enable them to pass through slots made in theseveral plates. The plate (A) is placed on the primary plate (E) therivets (el and b) passing through the slots 3 and 1 cut in the piece (A)respectively. Thev late (B),is put on the plates (A and E) tllioe rivets(b and cl) passing through the slots (2 and 4) of the plate The plateA(C) is laid on the last mentioned pieces (A, B, E) the rivet (a) in theplate (A) passingthrough lthe slot (5) the rivet (cl) passing throughthe slot (7) and the rivet (f) passing through the slot (9). Theremaining plate (D) is then laid 0n the pieces (A, B, 0,) the rivets (b,d, f) passing through the slots (6, 8, and 11,) respectively and therivet (e) of the plate (C) passing through t-he slot (10)- in this lastmentioned plate. Thev different rivets are then headed to keep theplates from falling apart. .The center rivet (d) Iin (Fig.' 6)

i has a. nut or screw z' attached; to it to fasten the pattern to theregulated size. f

, The operation of this patternisv as follows. The operator takes holdofthe side plates (C and D) vimmediatelybelow the slots (5 and 6)anddraws themrout Which causes the simultaneous and proportional eX-tensions of the other parts by means of the` rivets and slots abovereferredto which er1" ables him to obtain any required size pattern thesame being indicated by the straight edge of the plate (C) immediatelyover the scale of numbers F impressed on the primary plate E.

'I "he pattern for the back of the boot (Fig. 3) 1s composed of the samenumber of pieces as the blocking out pattern and represented in Fig.(4). l

The plate (E) is constructed similarly in all vrespects to the primarypiece (E, Fig. (2). The rivets of the plate E (e` and pass through theslot-s (1 and 2) of the plate` (A) respectively. The plate is laid `on.l

the plates (A and E) the rivets (eand f) lpassing through the slots (3and 4) of the piece (D) of this pattern is laid on the other plates(A,B, C, E) the rivets (c and d) of the plate (B) passing through the slots(8 and 12) the rivets (e, fand d) on the pri-v mary plate (E) passingthrough the slots (7, 11 and 15) and the rivet (L) in the plat-e C)passing through vthe slot (14). The` rivets are then headed as in theother paty tern and for the same purpose. A similar vscrew (z') Fig. 3is attached to the rivet (f) to faste-nthe pattern to the required size.

The operation is precisely in all respect-s` like the blocking outpattern (Fig. 1).

The pattern for cut-ting t-he front of the-i` boot after'being crimped(Fig. 5) is composed of four parts (A, B, C, D) represented plate (C)t-he rivets (d andre) of which pass through the slots (7 and 8) of theplate D. y

vThe platev(B) is then laid on the plates D and C) "the rivets (d and e)of the plate (C) passing through the-slots (5 and 6) of theV plate (B).The last plate A) is laidon the plate (B) the rivets (c and d) of the`The plate (D) is laid on the `r plate (C) passing through the slots (land 4) and the rivets (a and b) of the plate (B) passinv through theslots (E2 and 3) of the plate The rivets are then headed as in the otherpatterns and a similar screw or nut used in the other patterns forfasten*- ing is attached to the rivet.

The operation in adjusting this pattern is as follows: The operator bytaking hold of the plates (D and B) at the point (B) (Fig. 5) anddrawing them downward causes a proportional extension of the di ferentparts, the upper edge of the piece (D) indicating the instep measure bymeans of the index F, also the measure of the ball of the foot by meansof the index Gr while the edge (i) of the piece (B) Vindicates the heelmeasure. The plate (B) and plate (A) regulating the draft to suit therequired size. The length of the boot is regulated by the index (H) inplate (D).

Having thus fully described my inven-` ytion, what I claim as new anddesire to secure by 'Letters Patent, is-

The adjustable character of the patterns at one operation, or in otherwords, the smultaneous and proportional extension of the several partscomposing them, arranged in the manner and for the purposelherein setforth. SIMON C; SHIVE.` )Vitnessesz "O. C. KAHLER, y JACOB B. BEIDELMAN.
